7, thanks for sharing your analysis. How interesting.
Sue, Hope the ITB keeps healing. That's such a nasty, nagging injury.

The half marathon is this morning and it's 15 degrees with 0 degree wind chill (20 mph winds). DH and I are sitting here saying how stupid this is but I know we will both do it. I said I will give it the 15 minute test. If it's still miserable after 15 minutes, I'm turning around and going back. I agree with 7rider--no need for hero points.
